They Got Power, But I Got a Voice

They sit in positions of power—judges, cops, lawmakers. Protected by a system they built for themselves. But in this episode of The Grind, we flip the script.

This one’s for every underdog who’s ever been silenced, ignored, or pushed down. Speak up. They can’t cancel the truth
